I think the problem is because the the Hessian of the augmented Lagrangian iis
singular at c(0,0).
Try this:
require(alabama)
heq <- function(x) {
x[1]^2+x[2]^2 - 1
}
> constrOptim.nl(par=c(0,0), fn=f, heq=heq, control.outer=list(trace=FALSE))
$par
[1] -0.7071067 -0.7071067
$value
[1] -1.414213
$iterations
[1] 10
$lambda
[1] -0.7068717
$penalty
[1] -6.496021e-08
$counts
function gradient
100 30
